Inula Racemosa Herbal Extraction Plant
- Raw Material Selection: Inula racemosa, a potent medicinal plant known for its use in Ayurvedic formulations, is primarily harvested for its roots. Mature roots are collected during the appropriate season to ensure maximum active compound content.
- Cleaning and Preparation: The harvested roots are cleaned thoroughly to eliminate soil, debris, and foreign matter. After cleaning, they are dried in shaded or controlled drying environments to retain their therapeutic properties and essential oil components.
- Extraction Process: The powdered root material is subjected to hydro-alcoholic or aqueous extraction in a closed-loop extractor. The choice of solvent depends on the desired active components like alantolactone and isoalantolactone. The process involves heating, agitation, and precise timing to extract maximum phytoconstituents.
- Filtration and Concentration: The resulting extract mixture is filtered to remove solid residues. High-efficiency filtration systems, including centrifuges or filter presses, are used to ensure clarity and purity of the extract.
- Quality Control: Every batch undergoes rigorous testing for microbial load, residual solvents, active marker content, and heavy metals to comply with international quality norms.
- Packaging and Storage: The final extract—whether liquid or powder—is packed in airtight, food-grade containers. It is stored in a dry, cool, and dark environment to prevent degradation.
